"In a sense, yes," Hikari spoke. "Technically it's separate buildings, but the two are connected by a glass walkway. And I understand that you may be fans of certain members, but I hope I do not need to remind you that you are not to interfere with their work, and if I hear of anyone making anyone uncomfortable, there will be consequences. Naturally, that goes both ways, but I find that it's always a good thing to remind people of boundaries."

Riko felt the urge to scoff, but refrained; from what she had seen yesterday and today, it was probably a good thing, even if she somehow doubted that some would listen.

Hikari's sharp, discerning eyes scanned the faces of the girls before her. "And furthermore, over the next couple days the videos you filmed yesterday will be released to the public in batches, but your official public debut, when you'll stand on stage and interact as idols, is 12 days from now. In that period of time, you'll be learning 5 songs, getting a rundown of what will be expected of you if you do manage to be picked to join a team, and more that you'll come to learn. I told you yesterday, but I'll also reiterate it now. Being an idol in AKB0048 is not easy. It never was. Had the Entertainment Ban not been in use, it might have been easier, but the moment you step on that stage you may have longed for since you were young, you will be labeled a terrorist in some sources. You will have to fight for your freedom. You will have to deal with hardships you never would have have to face otherwise. Be aware of that."

She closed her mouth, letting what she just said sink in.
